Why are South African investors turning to Australian property?

Once your money is offshore, it needs to generate a stable return for you. Commercial property investment is an option which has proven very popular because of its predictability and solid currency hedging (if invested wisely).

Australian property and tax law allow some distinct tax advantages for foreign investors.

The relatively low risk environment is not just because of Australia’s government and regulatory standards — although that is extremely important. It’s also due to smart investors taking part in well-structured, expertly-managed Australian investment opportunities.

How easy is it for South Africans to earn dollars from Rand in Australian investments?

South African citizens can transfer R10 million a year out of the country. Those funds are subject to a SARS tax clearance.

The maximum transfer without tax clearance is R1 million, although that R1 million will need to be registered with the South African Reserve Bank. Any transfer of funds overseas needs to be placed through an authorised dealer, like a bank.

“Their approach to property and their transparency is of the highest ethic.”
